Compost Teas: 24 hour, EM, IM, BD & fermented plant extracts

[liion sastar <isalive AT rawfoods.com>]

suppression is by what is known as "eco-sterilizing".  there is a finite 
amount of space within any solution, that is its holding capacity for life.  
if you fill all of the spaces with probiotic life forms, there with be no 
available room for pathogenic forms to live.  both forms take to different 
environments to live.  most pathogens thrive in anaerobic conditions, that is 
why compost teas must have an air pump.  any space within the solution that 
become less than oxygenated  would have the possibility to become breeding 
grounds for the pathogens.  em, effective microorganism,  is a collection of 
probiotic forms that work in an anaerobic environ.  these are reported to 
inhibit not so friendly forms as well as use them as food.  check out
